Amadeussigns a landmark hospitality distribution agreement with Booking.com to integrate its accommodation content into the Amadeus Travel Platform for the first time.

Amadeus' extensive travel seller network will make Booking.com's content available to even more travelers worldwide.

No matter how or where travelers shop, they want greater choice and convenience when booking a trip. Finding the right place to rest your head at night, can make a real difference to the overall travel experience.

Every day more than 1.5 million room nights are reserved across 228 countries and territories worldwide via the Booking.com platform. Thanks to a new partnership between Amadeus and Booking.com, travel sellers will now be able to access the vast and rich content of the company's extensive listings. This includes everything from hotels, motels and resorts to homes, apartments and many other unique places to stay provided by Booking.com through the Amadeus Travel Platform.

As a result of this partnership, travel sellers will directly benefit from an increase of 30% in the accommodation options made available by Amadeus. They will be able to access the new content in the coming months through multiple points of sale including Amadeus Selling Platform Connect and, for corporate bookers, through Amadeus cytric Travel & Expense.

Booking.com's extensive range of accommodation options will be shown alongside other travel content to make it easier for travel sellers to book a traveler's whole journey. The additional content enables them to meet that traveler's desire to have a wealth of choice, access to multiple price points as well as the convenience of having a single itinerary that covers the journey from start to finish.
